Cargo loads Cargo loads precautions
CAUTIONzDo not load cargo or luggage higher than thetop of the seatback. Be sure that your cargoor luggage cannot move once your vehicle ismoving. Having the rear view blocked, andyour cargo being thrown inside the cabin ifyou suddenly have to brake can cause a seri-ous accident or injury.zLoad heavy cargo or luggage in the front ofthe vehicle. If the load in the back of thevehicle is too heavy, steering may becomeunstable.
Loading a roof carrier
CAUTIONzUse a roof carrier that properly fits yourvehicle. Do not load
luggage directly onto
the roof.For installation, refer to the instruction man-ual accompanying the roof carrier.
NOTE
zWe recommend you to use a MITSUBISHIMOTORS GENUINE roof carrier, since thebrackets to be used have a special shape. Fordetails, we recommend you to consult aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorised ServicePoint.
Roof carrier precaution
CAUTIONzMake sure that the
weight of the luggage
does not exceed the allowable roof load.If the allowable roof lo
ad is exceeded, this
may cause damage to the vehicle.The roof load is the total allowable load onthe roof (the weight of
the roof carrier plus
the weight of luggage placed on the roof car-rier).For the specific value, refer to “Maximumroof load” on page 12-5.
zWhen luggage is loaded onto the vehicle,please make sure to drive slowly and avoidexcessive maneuvers such as sudden brakingor quick turning.In addition, place the luggage on the carrierso that its weight is distributed evenly withthe heaviest items on the bottom. Do not loaditems that are wider than the roof carrier.The additional weight on the roof could raisethe vehicle’s centre of gravity and affectvehicle handling characteristics.As a result, driving errors or emergencymaneuvers could lead to a loss of control andresult in an accident.zBefore driving and after travelling a shortdistance, always check the load to make sureit is securely fastened
to the roof carrier.
Check periodically during your travel thatthe load remains secure.NOTE
zTo p r e v e n t w i n d n o i s e o r r e d u c t i o n i n f ue leconomy, remove the roof carrier when notin use.zRemove the roof carrier before using anautomatic car wash.zBe sure that adequate clearance is main-tained for raising the sunroof (if soequipped) and/or the tailgate when installinga roof carrier.CAUTION

Yo u r v e h i c l e h a s q u a l i t i e s w h i c h m a k e i t w e l lsuited for normal towing operations provideda few recommendations are observed. Theseare primarily concerne
d with the prevention
of overloading of the vehicle and with theselection of the proper equipment. If theseprecautions are taken and driving habits areregulated accordingly, the effects of towingtrailers and caravans can be minimized.It should be noted that damage to the vehiclecaused directly or indirectly by operatingunder conditions outside the limits set out onthis page will void the warranty, relative tosuch damage.
The legal authorities require that a trailer orcaravan be fitted with stop, tail and turn sig-nal lamps. An electrical kit can be fitted byyour authorized MITSUBISHI MOTORSdealer which meets legal requirements andcan be left on your vehicle permanently. Itmay be necessary to fit additional rear visionmirrors to both sides of your vehicle to giveclear vision past your trailer or caravan.Ensure that your trailer or caravan complieswith the regulations of the particular State inwhich you are travelling, e. g. lighting, safetychains, brakes, mass, etc. Check that yourtowbar tongue does not obscure your vehi-cle’s number plate when the trailer or caravanis disconnected. If it does, remove the tongueensuring that it is refitted securely when refit-ted.
The maximum payload of the towing vehicledoes not exceed the requirements of eachmaximum mass described in the “Vehiclemass”. See “Specifications” for the payloadinformation.Having established compliance with the Stateregulations for permissible towing loads and
To w i n g c a r a v a n s a n d t r a i l -ers
WA R N I N GzWhen connecting the trailer with ElectricTr a i l e r B r a k e ( E T B )
, use MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE ETB harness.zIf using an ETB harness other than MIT-SUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE parts, anunexpected reduction in drive force mayoccur when using the manual trailerbrake override which co
uld lead to insta-
bility and increase the risk of an accident.
CAUTIONzMITSUBISHI MOTORS recommends theuse of MITSUBISHI MOTORS towingequipment where it is available. No recom-mendation is made as to the make of equip-ment which may be used if MITSUBISHIMOTORS equipment is not available.zThe loads specified apply only if a MITSUB-ISHI MOTORS GENUINE Parts Tow Barand other specified equipment is used.
State re gulations
Permissible towing load and requirements
CAUTIONzThe trailer brake and towing hitch require-ments as specified are minimum require-ments only and MITSUBISHI MOTORSrecommend that a trailer brake and a loaddistributing hitch is used whenever you aretowing, to improve
stopping distance and
towing stability.When using a load distributing hitch the loadon the trailer tyres increases. Do not exceedthe trailer tyre load rating.With all towing operations it is important tolimit the towing vehicle payload as noted.Failure to do so may result in exceeding themaximum load rating of the tyres. This rat-ing is marked on the tyre placard and mayalso be displayed on
the tyre sidewall.

brake/hitch requirements, adjust the positionof the load in the trailer to achieve the specifi-cation requirements.Select the appropriate hitch combinationwhich is to be used in conjunction with theMITSUBISHI MOTORS approved parts tow-bar. If you use the load distributing hitch, itmust be installed in accordance with the man-ufacturer’s instructions.It is recommended that two safety chains areused. The chains should be
crossed
under the
trailer draw bar so that the draw bar is pre-vented from touching the ground if itbecomes detached from the vehicle. Thechains must not stop the trailer from turningfreely. Correct load rated shackles must beused to attach the chains. In some states andterritories, a single safety chain is permittedby regulation. Be sure it is attached with cor-rect load rated shackles.For further information about the selectionand use of towing equipment, consult a MIT-SUBISHI MOTORS Authorised ServicePoint.
Have your vehicle serviced prior to towing aheavy trailer or caravan, taking particularcare of the state of Plug-in Hybrid EV Systemtune, the condition of brakes, steering andtyres.Adjust tyre pressures to those quoted for afully laden vehicle (see Tyre placard).Check the tyres, wiring and brakes (if fitted)on the caravan / trailer.Have the cooling system checked and ensurethat the radiator intake is clear to allow maxi-mum air flow through the radiator. Do not
place restrictions in front of the radiator(water bags, driving lamps, insect screens,non MITSUBISHI MOTORS approved bull-bars, etc.) as they restrict air flows.Check that tow bar fixing bolts are tightenedto specification.After a loaded caravan has been connected tothe vehicle, there may be a slight change invehicle attitude which for your night drivingsafety may require the headlamps to be re-aimed.If you have never towed before, connect yourtrailer or caravan and take it for a run overfamiliar ground in your own district. Feel thedifference in acceleration, handling and brak-ing and you are less likely to be surprised ifan emergency does occur, when you are awayfrom home territory. The other driving mem-bers of your family should also becomefamiliar with the vehicle in this condition.If particularly steep or long downgrades areencountered, avoid “riding” the brakes.Apply the brakes firmly to reduce speed andthen remove your foot from the pedal to

allow air to cool the brakes between applica-tions.Furthermore, it might be able to reduce theload of the brakes by using the regenerativebrake force.Leave plenty of room between the front ofyour vehicle and the preceding vehicle.If the caravan begins to sway or becomes dif-ficult to handle, gently slow down or applythe independent trailer brakes (if fitted) NOTthe vehicle brakes. Stop the vehicle andtrailer in a safe location. Examine the tyres ofthe trailer closely for damage. If you find thedamage of tyre, it is recommended that tyresbe inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Point or a tyre retailerbefore proceeding further. Note that treadseparation [separation of the tread band fromthe body of the tyre] of trailer tyres which areaged, and/or loaded near their load limit, canbe difficult to detect, especially on caravanswhere tyres are covered.One cause of swaying is poor trailer balanceand until this has been overcome the swayingwill recur. Relocate the load in your trailer orcaravan and re-assess the problem.If the wheels of your vehicle, the trailer orcaravan leave the road surface and enter the
unsealed edge of the road, resist the urge topull it back quickly. Wait for a section wherethe levels of the road and unsealed edge arecomparable and then ease back onto thesealed section of the road with as little swayas possible.Try to maximise the distance between yourcaravan and passing or overtaking semi-trail-ers or other heavy vehicles. This will reducethe suction forces between the two and mini-mise disturbance of the caravan.Do not apply the brakes severely, be alert andanticipate trouble far enough ahead to enableyou to apply the brakes smoothly and evenly.Do not make any manoeuvres before ensuringthat the road behind and in front of your vehi-cle is clear.This will normally occur as a result of somemechanical failure. If your vehicle shouldoverheat, stop and check for a loose or brokenwater pump drive belt/ oil pump/cooling oil, ablocked radiator air intake or a low coolantlevel. If these items are satisfactory the over-heating could be caused by a number of
mechanical causes that would have to bechecked at a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Point.If your vehicle is in good mechanical condi-tion and it overheats due to heavy traffic con-ditions or high air temperatures, additionalcooling may be obtained by the followingmethods:zReduce your speed by 15 km/h if towingat high speeds.

Braking Overheating
CAUTIONzIf the engine overheats,
reference should be
made to “Engine overheating” section of“For emergencies” prior to taking any cor-rective action.
